Dionysus, propped up on his side, starts combing his fingers through Claudius' hair. "There's -- unfortunately -- a lot of people who spend a disproportionate amount of time being sad, you're right. I'm sorry, dear. You've spent a lot of time in a very bad environment, and didn't get out until, y'know, relatively recently. It takes time to heal from these sorts of things. Doing what you can to get the emotions out can help. Right now though, I think you need some rest."
